LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart
I clench my teeth, my hands fisting at my sides. My stare bores into her, but it does nothing to wipe the fucking smile off Juliett’s face. If anything, it only seems to encourage her because it widens.“If it isn’t the Ashthorne heiress,” Lilly drawls, folding her arms across her chest.Juliett’s s

The quicker I got this over with, the better.Blackie meows at me from across the room.“I won’t be long,” I promise, scooping her up and hugging her close, hoping I could absorb some of her strength and courage.She purrs softly, grounding me in her quiet way. I set her down gently, making sure she
“Come on, Emma, open those big blue eyes.” I beg for mine and Gunner’s sake. “Don’t you want me to forgive you? Then wake up.”She doesn’t. Her eyes remain close. She is almost white as a sheet, and her blonde hair is spread behind her. If it weren’t for the blood that covered it, she would have loo
